During a meeting with military leaders earlier in the afternoon, Trump said his administration was focused on “challenges that we really should have taken care of a long time ago, like North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, ISIS, and the revisionist powers that threaten our interests all around the world.”

During those remarks, the president also appeared to issue a vague threat toward the regime in North Korea, which has antagonized the U.S. president with a series of nuclear and ballistic-missile tests.

“We cannot allow this dictatorship to threaten our nation or our allies with unimaginable loss of life,” Trump said. “We will do what we must do to prevent that from happening. And it will be done, if necessary — believe me.”

Fire and Fury

William Cohen, a former Republican U.S. senator from Maine who served as President Bill Clinton’s secretary of defense, said that while Trump’s comments might be entertaining, he didn’t believe it to be wise policy.

“The president has sent another rabbit out on the White House lawn and asked the press to go chase it,” Cohen said on MSNBC.

Trump’s latest remarks echoed comments he made in August, when he warned that North Korea will face a devastating military strike if it continues threatening the U.S.

“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” Trump told reporters in Bedminster, New Jersey at the time. “They will be met with fire, fury and, frankly, power the likes of which this world has never seen before.”

The president rebuked his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, on Sunday, saying he “is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man,” the label he’s given to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. A day earlier in Beijing, Tillerson told reporters that the U.S. was talking to North Korea “directly, through our own channels.”

Trump also is expected to soon announce his decision on whether to “decertify” the Iran nuclear accord in the coming days, which would prompt a congressional review period on the accord.

Crux note: Most Americans are woefully unprepared for a military attack on U.S. soil. Worse yet, the chances of something major are increasing by the day. That’s why Doc Eifrig recently enlisted the help of a former CIA trainer to prepare his readers (and their families) for the worst-case scenario. You can watch his full video right here.
